Brand Pulse will enable brands to understand their relevance with context to competition, which, in turn, will help them develop timely and focused marketing plans on Flipkart. The tool is easy to use and is based on real consumer behaviour of over 250 million users, providing insights on a weekly basis.

As the purchase journeys of customers become increasingly non-linear, brands need timely insights and knowledge of current trends to engage meaningfully with their audiences. Brand Pulse will shed light on which brands customers are looking at in a category and how their awareness has changed over time. This understanding is based on various aspects of the consumers’ e-commerce journey, including search, response to banners, page views and so on.

Prakash Sikaria, Vice-President, Growth and Monetisation at Flipkart, said, “In the multimedia world that we live in, it is imperative for brands to understand the user journey in deeper ways and be strategically present on the platform where the decision to purchase is being made. With our deep consumer understanding, we believe that we can bring more purpose to the brands that are present on our platform, by leveraging real-time consumer behaviour to understand their awareness index. We believe Brand Pulse will be the simplest way for a brand to understand how they are faring against the competition, which will enable them to measure brand health metrics on Flipkart through a new lens.”

Brand Pulse is the latest insights tool by Flipkart that is aimed at making the e-commerce shopping experience more valuable for both brands and consumers.

By enabling easy access to this online tool, Flipkart offers an opportunity for anyone in the marketing community to gauge how brands in a certain category rank in the minds of consumers. It will also appeal to curious consumers who are seeking to validate their brand preferences or discover new choices. The insights are based on high-level anonymised consumer interactions on Flipkart, giving a view into demographics too. Brand Pulse will be useful for brands in all product categories on Flipkart, especially those in highly competitive and evolving segments such as smartphones, consumer electronics, health foods and fashion.
